A special gift edition by Prada – a mini shoulder bag, the size of a wallet and made with an extractable, adjustable leather strap. Can you wish for a better gift?

The Prada Saffiano Letter Mini Flap Bag is different than what we are used to. It comes with a front flap that has a shape like an envelope. And their Saffiano leather needs no introduction; it’s reliable, durable and above all, it holds shape:

Made in bi-color that matches, the front flap is printed with metal lettering logo – ‘Prada Milano’. Use the snap closure to open the bag and surprise yourself by the generous interior – three document pockets, 6 credit card slots and one compartment with zipper to store your coins. All Prada Lettering Mini Flap Bags are crafted in golden-plated hardware.

I love this new tartan print from Prada! They’ve nailed the age-old pattern in a way that few brands have managed to do, one that feels fresh, uncommon, and idiosyncratic in the best way possible. The loose strokes of layered and crosshatched lines, some diagonal, give the print a painterly feel, which takes tartan from preppy and old-school to modern and cool.

A pattern that speaks for itself: this is when a really simple flap-front shoulder bag shines because you wouldn’t want any other details or excess hardware conflicting with the main event. The chain-link strap is just the final touch to seal the deal. A statement piece that’s not overly specific, this bag is endlessly versatile. It comes in other colors, like tan and olive, but this high-contrast motif is my favorite. The only downside? Waiting until fall to receive it!

In the world fashion, there is a fixed rule – everything that’s once large, must go small. And everything that’s small must go mini. This is like a law, there’s no other way around it.

So when Louis Vuitton first launched the Capucines Tote Bag, you could have predicted that the Capucines BB tote is coming. It was just a matter of time.

And so when DIOR launched the Be Dior Flap Bag, it was just a matter of time that they would introduce the mini Be Dior Flap Bag.

And now back to Prada, can you remember the Galleria Bag, released in November 2013 – a gorgeous tote bag with a front flap and extra large closure. Well, here’s the mini version of it.

READ: Prada Galleria Bag

The Prada Mini Galleria Bag is different than the large version – it’s a beautiful, boxy tote in a cute size. Crafted from patent saffiano leather, it’s a lovely bag if you’re looking for durability with style.

It comes in different sweet colors like Celeste Blue, Red and even in Black if you love to go safe. Made with golden hardware and rolled tote handles, the brand’s triangle logo is crafted on the bag’s front.

In the interior you can find a zip and open pocket to store all your essentials. There is also a zip compartments in the frame front and back. It’s simple yet sophisticated, measuring 4.75’ x 6.5’ x 3.25’ (H x W x D) inches, priced at $1,050 USD, pre-order at Neiman Marcus.

I love the Prada Saffiano Tote and I’ve seen them in all-kinds of form, shape, colours and studs. Now that I think I know it all, the Saffiano Buckle Tote suddenly stands in front of me.

After a lot of chit and chat, I know that some of you do like totes that have an extra layer of security. In some big cities there are people who by coincidence, put their hands in your bag and then accidentally make your wallet disappear. To avoid such unfortunate incidents, there is no better protection than a pair of strong leather buckles.

Besides the buckles, there’s also an extra layer of leather on the top. It avoids rain and snow from getting into your bag, uninvited. We need to keep everything nice and dry, right?

The appearance is quite similar to the Saffiano lux tote, only that the handles are much taller. There is also a pouch in the interior, with the Prada signature embellished on the front.
